A Word to the Wise About Summer Coal Purchases
Ralph R. Colvin, Acting District Manager of the Office of Defense Transportation in Pittsburgh, urges householders to obtain an initial coal supply this summer to avoid delays when cold weather sets in. He notes coal purchases must follow Solid Fuels Administration limits, predicts a critical coal delivery problem this fall due to truck shortages and driver enlistments, and urges spacing orders to ensure winter supply. Taylor County follows the trend with coal currently easy to obtain.

Six months of relentless strikes had reduced launch sites on the French coast, leaving pilotless bombs in play at a fraction of Hitler’s initial plan. Sgt. Tom Pinckney described faster, harder targets, while authorities reported damage and casualties in southern England amid growing German civilian unease.
